How to Use the Guide, 



The leading purpose of this work is to supply the vast masses of the 
constantly moving multitudes visiting or inhabiting the Empire City 
with information arranged in a simple and com pact form and showing the 
most direct and convenient routes of transit between all the central points. 

A little study of the map, in connection with the tables, will enable 
one to select the route most eligible between any two points located on 
or near the various railroads traversing and intersecting the different 
streets. The map is drawn on a scale sufficiently large to give a clear 
conception of the topography of the City ; its length, if joined together, 
would equal nearly three feet. The many advantages secured by reason 
of its division into sections are obvious. 

There are forty-niue squares on Section 4 of the map, drawn to a scale 
of one mile each. The squares on the remaining three sections are 
one-half mile each in each direction. They may be considered as 
grouped in series, those described by the horizontal red lines being 
numbered from 1 to 6, beginning at the top and continuing to the 
bottom of each section, while those embraced within the series of 
vertical lines are indicated by letters, beginning with A, and continuing 
uniformly to Y, through the four sections. Every square in the four 
sections of the map is thus indexed with a letter and figure, giving to 
each of the 157 squares, comprising this portion of the work, its index 
character, thus : A 1, A 2 — B 1, B 2 — etc. These characters are always 
used when referring to the location of Streets, Piers, Ferries, Hotels, etc. 

The streets of the City below 133d Street are tabled in alphabetical 
order on the back of the sections. The " Map Square," showing where 
each street begins and ends, follows its title, making a complete index to 
every street corresponding to its location on the map. For example, to 
find in its alphabetical order Hudson Street, it will be seen that it begins 
at square "C 3," and ends at square "F 2." By reference to these 
index characters its exact location is determined at once. 

The "Street Car Routes" arj systematically classed, each one of the 
twenty-five Lines being indexed with the letters A to Y, inclusive (see 
pages 52 to 55). The order in which each line traverses the various 
streets is there accurately shown in a clear and comprehensive manner. 

The " Elevated R.R. Stations " below 155th Street (see page 48) are 
numbered from 1 to 67, inclusive. In the tables of Ferries, R.R. Depots, 
Steamship Lines, Piers, Places of Amusement, Hotels, etc., the map 
square, showing their location on the map, the numbers indicating the 
nearest Elevated R.R. Station and the letters designating the nearest 
Car Route, are placed opposite to each. For example, under heading 
"Theatres and Places of Amusement," if it is desired to find the Fifth 
Avenue Theatre, the index character "G3," in map square column, 
shows its location on the map ; the letters " B-H-N," under column 
headed Street Car Routes, refer to the Broadway (" B "), the Grand and 
Forty-Second Street (" H "), and the Sixth Avenue (" N ") Street Car 
Lines respectively, as immediately passing or near the Theatre, while 
the figures " 2o-6th," in column of Elevated R.R. Stations, shows the 
number and line of the nearest Elevated Station to such Theatre. 

The street numbers at any point, on all the leading streets below 
155th Street, running the length of the Island, in a northerly or southerly 
direction, may be closely located by reference to the large table on pages 
49 to 51. The general system adopted of numbering the numerical 
cross streets is explained at introduction to Street Directory, page 8.

For convenience of reference the Streets and Avenues of the City are 
arranged in condensed tabular form as shown on opposite page. Atten- 
tion is called to the reference squares, A 1, B 2, etc., on the map, which, 
with the exception of the fourth section, describe actual distances of 
one-half mile each in either direction. The squares on section four 
measure one mile across. 

Fifth Avenue from Waverly Place to the Harlem River, a distance ol 
about 6£ miles, is taken as a central line, dividing the city into East and 
West. The house numbers on the numerical cross streets from 13th 
Street to 133d Street begin at Fifth Avenue and run East and West, 
beginning a new hundred at each avenue whether the prior hundred has 
been filled out or not. The odd numbers are on the northerly or upper 
sides of these streets, and the even numbers on the lower sides. 

All of the avenues run north and south, the majority of them the whole 
length of the island. They are designated as First, Second, and up to 
Twelfth avenues, with an additional series known as Avenues A, B, C 
and D. They are nearly uniformly one-eighth mile apart with the 
exception of Lexington and Madison Avenues, which are situated between 
Third and Fourth and Fourth and Fifth Avenues respectively. The 
numbering of the avenues begins south and increases as they run north,! 
East Houston Street forming the most southerly boundry line of thejj 
majority of them. The table on pages 49 to 51 will enable one to closely 
locate the house number on any avenue desired. 

Distances between any two points in the city on the first three sections 
of the map can be readily determined by using the " distance and tim 
scale," one of which accompanies each copy of this work. Should it b 
desired, for example, to go from Union Square to the Battery, the seal 
would indicate i\ miles. The official schedule time in going this distanc 
on the street cars is also shown thereon to average 28 minutes. 

The scale will show at a glance the distance between any two parts of 
the city and the corresponding average amount of time consumed in 
traveling such distances on the lines of the elevated railroads, street 
cars, etc. 

The average gait of a person walking is about three miles per hour. 
Ten minutes would therefore be required to walk across any of the half 
mile distances described by the squares, into which the first three sections 
of the map are divided. 

The streets and avenues north of 133d Street and in the annexed dis- 
trict will be found tabulated on pages 21 to 29.

A 

CHRONOLOGICAL HISTORY 

OF 

NEW YORK CITY 
From the Discovery of Manhattan Island in 1524 to 1891. 



The following compilation of the principal events connected with 
the history of the City of New York is taken from the most reliable 
sources obtainable. It is based wholly upon official figures and historical 
records of unquestioned authenticity. The information given, while 
necessarily condensed and abridged, will be found to cover every impor- 
tant event and prominent incident which marks the City's great strides, 
from its primitive condition as a beautiful island, occupied solely by 
Indians, to its present position as one of the leading commercial and 
financial centers of the world. 
1524 The " Island of Manhattan " discovered by John D. Verrazzani, 

a Florentine. 
1598 A few Hollanders, in the employ of a Greenland Company, were 
in the habit of resorting to New York, then called " New N'ether- 
landr," — the so-named Dutch possessions in North America — to se- 
cure shelter during the Winter months. 
1609 The " Half Moon," bearing Captain Hendrick Hudson and 
fifteen seamen, landed in New York harbor. 

1613 Captain Adrien Block built four ^mall houses and established a 
fur agency at what is now No. 41 Broadway. 

1614 A Dutch colony founded the settlement of New Amsterdam on 
Bowling Green. 

1625 The settlement now numbered 200 persons, including a colony of 
thirty families, French protestants, settled in 1623, all of whom were 
sent from Holland by the Dutch West India Company. 

1626 Peter Minuet purchased the Island of Manhattan, estimated to 
contain 22,000 acres, from the Indians for 60 guilders — $24. Thirty 
rude log houses extending along the East River ; a block house ; 
a horse mill, and the Dutch Company's stone building, constituted the 
city. First law court established. Export of furs for the year 
amounted m value to $19,000. 

1631 The New Netherlatid, a ship of 800 tons and one of the largest 
merchantmen 111 the world, built at Manhattan, was sent to Holland. 
Yearly imports from old Amsterdam about $23,000. Exports from 
Manhattan about $27,000. 

1633 First building erected exclusively for a place of worship. The 
first clergyman and schoolmaster arrived from Holland. 

1638 First ferry to Long Island, a skiff being used. Sometimes pas- 
sengers had to wait a whole day before being taken over. Tobacco 
was raised to a considerable extent on Manhattan Island.

depth and nearly two miles in circumference, filled with edible fish 
and nestling within a circle of forest hills, was located where the 
Criminal Courts building is now being erected and the Tombs 
stands; 5,000 piles were driven here for the foundation of the first 
mentioned structure, which will cost when completed nearly $2,000,- 
000. The elevations running back through Leonard, Grand and ad-

1876 The Hell Gate Channel opened at a cost to the United States 
Government of nearly $2,000,000. Over 52,000 lbs. of dynamite 
were used at the final explosion of this great work. 

1877 Elevated railroad system completed and first put in operation. 
1883 May 24th. East River Bridge opened to the public ; total cost 

nearly $15,000,000, two-thirds of which were borne by the city of 
Brooklyn. 

Nov. 25th. Grand Centennial Celebration in honor of the Evacu- 
ation of the city by the British. The President and nine Governors, 
with 40,000 soldiers, marines, firemen, veterans, policemen, Grand 
Army Posts, sailors, societies and municipal representatives, were in 
line, notwithstanding the fact that a cold, drizzling rain prevailed. 
The streets along the line of march were lined with spectators for 
miles. It was estimated that between 600,000 and 700,000 visitors 
came to the city for the occasion. A magnificent water parade on 
both rivers preceded the land display. The exercises of the day 
ended with banquets, entertainments, etc., in different parts of the 
city, by the various leading representative societies. 
1889 Centennial Celebration of the Inauguration of George Washing- 
ton as first President of the United States. The city gave itself up 
completely for three days, April 29th, 30th, and May 1st, in honor 
of the event. It is estimated that 3,000,000 strangers visited the city 
during the celebration. 

April 29th. The day opened gloriously with the reception of the 
President and his Cabinet. In the Naval Parade, which followed, 
the harbor was filled with over a thousand vessels all gorgeously 
festooned, beautifully decorated and crowded with people, the shores 
and piers, radiant in red, white and blue, being alive with the multi- 
tudes. The Centennial Ball in the evening eclipsed any similar affair 
ever held in this country and was equal in grandeur, brilliancy, and ihe 
splendor of its appointments, to the most famous of European court 
balls. The Metropolitan Opera House was transformed into a veri- 
table bovver of roses, azaleas, lilies and ferns ; the ballroom was a 
marvel of light and color with its thousands of incandescent electric 
lamps in red, white and blue, and innumerable gas jets adding to 
the effectiveness of the scene. The expense of this ball was about 
$100,000. Ten thousand persons were present. From the magnifi- 
cence of the ladies' costumes, the marvelous blaze of diamonds, 
together with the rare congregation, representative of the wealth, 
beauty and intellect of the nation, it certainly merited the criticism 
it received when it was described as the " Greatest Ball of the Cen- 
tury." 

April 30th. The Military Parade was one of the grandest affairs 
of its kind ever witnessed ; eleven miles of richly uniformed soldiers, 
with delegations from 700 Grand Army Posts, representing nearly 
every State in the Union, headed by their respective Governors and 
Staffs, were in the line, forming a procession of impressive pomp 
and glittering pageantry never before equalled. A conservative 
estimate of the number of sightseers immediately on the line of 
march placed it at fully 1,000,000 persons. For the " window 
privileges " of one building on the route $5,000, was refused, while 
$500 was frequently paid for the use of one window for the two days. 
The streets at four different points along the line were spanned with 
magnificent triumphal arches. The concert in the Madison Square 
Garden by the combined voices of forty-six of the leading singing 
societies of the city, accompanied by a grand orchestra and terminat- 
ing with the singing of America by 100,000 or more of the assembled

NEW YORK CITY 

IN 

[89I. 

The information -given below is derived entirely from official sources, 
brought down to the year 1S91. It is only intended to present a few 
prominent facts in the most condensed form possible, illustrating the 
City's remarkable development. History records nothing to com- 
pare with the magnificent exhibits of industrial progress here presented. 

CORPORATE The corporate limits of the City embrace an area of nearly 
LIMITS. 40 X 3 square miles, Manhattan Island containing 13,463 

acres and the annexed district, 23d and 24th Wards, 12,317 acre°. New 
York Harbor, which is conceded to be the finest in the world, contains 
an area of 102 square miles of safe anchorage — 88 miles in the lower 
bay and 14 miles in the upper bay. The available water frontage meas- 
ures 24^4 miles : 13 miles on the Hudson River ; 9J4 miles on the East 
River, and 2 1 2 miles on the Harlem River. 

POPULATION. The present population of the City, based upon the enum- 
eration made by the police in the month of September, 1890, under a unani- 
mous resolution of the Common Council, was found to be 1,710,715. The U. 
S. Federal Census, taken in the month of June, returned only 1,513,101 
inhabitants. About one-half of the residents of the City live below 14th 
Street. In the Tenth Ward, within an area of a square mile, 290,000 
persons are housed. The City's population is increasing at the rate of 
60,000 annually. If an enumeration were taken of the persons residing 
within a circle described by a radius extending from the City Hall to the 
northern boundary line of the corporate limits of the City, the population 
of the " Metropolis" would largely exceed 3,000,000 persons. 

ASSESSED In the magnitude and influence of her many commer- 
VALUATION, Ac. cial and industrial enterprises reaching out to the 
most remote sections of the country, stimulating and giving vitality to 
the commerce of the whole world ; in the vast aggregation of her corpor- 
ate wealth ; in the concentration and availability of her moneyed re- 
sources, over $1,000,000,000 being deposited in her different financial in- 
stitutions, and in the notable accumulations of individual wealth, New 
York stands without a peer. There are between 50,000 and 60,000 ac- 
tive business firms in the City. Four thousand of her business houses are 
rated at $75,000 each, and upwards, classified as follows : — 350 at $1,000,- 
000 and over, — 400 at from $500,000 to $1,000,000, — 3,000 at from $100,- 
000 to $500,000, and the remainder, nearly 250, at $75,000 each and over. 
Between one and two hundred of her citizens have annual incomes ex- 
ceeding $250,000 each. Within the area bounded by Reade.West Broadway, 
Spring and Crosby Streets, comprising about 130 acres, the wholesale 
dry goods houses are mainly located. In no city in the world can be found, 
within an equal space, a greater quantity of valuable merchandise, which 
has an estimated value of over $500,000,000. The average sales of some 
of her leading dry goods, grocery and hardware houses is nearly $1,000,- 
000 per week. The assessed valuation of her real estate is $1,466,849,- 
000, and of personal property about $300,000,000. This total sum of real 
estate and personal property exceeds, by over one hundred million dol- 
lars, the combined assessed valuation of the five States and three Terri- 
tories comprising the Pacific Coast Region. The estimated actual market

19 grain elevators, 7,784 liquor saloons, no pawnshops, over 600 Chinese 
laundries, and 70,000 horses contained in 7,000 stables ; 34 colleges, 
75 trade associations, 17 markets, 35 station houses, n district courts, 
besides Superior, Supreme, U. S., criminal courts, etc. 63,634 miles of 
streets are cleaned each year. The number of cartloads of ashes, etc., 
collected yearly by the Street Cleaning Department is 1,928,000, the 
annual cost for which is $1,279,000. The city receives $1,600,000 annu- 
ally through the Dock Department for leased wharves, land under water, 
etc. Nearly 30,000 licenses are issued yearly by the Licensed Bureau for 
expresses, coaches, peddlers, etc., yielding a yearly revenue of $112,000. 
There are 770 streets, 168 avenues, 138 places, with numerous alleys, 
courts, lanes, squares, etc. The city contains 365 miles of paved and 40 
miles of unpaved streets, and 438 miles of sewers. There are 337,316 
tenement houses in the city. The foreign countries of the world are rep- 
resented by 43 consuls. There are 150 fire insurance companies, includ- 
ing the agencies of foreign and domestic companies, whose capital is rep- 
resented here ; the available funds thus pledged against fire losses is 
enormous. The marine, life, accident and mutual benefit insurance com- 
panies of the city (with the agencies represented here) number fully loo 
more. The assets of three of the principal life insurance companies of 
the city aggregate the enormous sum of $382,346,000 ; they have risks 
outstanding of $1,928,228,000, insuring, approximately, 484,000 lives at 
an average of nearly $4,000 each. 

WATER. The new Croton Aqueduct, just completed, is the most co- 
lossal engineering structure of its kind in the world. This stupendous 
work commences at Croton Lake, forming a part of the Croton Water 
Shed, which has an area of 339 square miles of never failing lakes, 
streams and springs of the purest water. A magnificent Gate House is 
constructed at the southern extremity of the Lake, from which point the 
Aqueduct leads to the Gate House in 135th street, a distance of 30! miles. 
The Aqueduct is 14 feet in diameter and built mostly in tunnel. The 
water coming through this is equivalent to a stream having a width of 50 
feet and a depth of 10 feet, flowing 59 feet per minute, with a maximum 
capacity of 318,000,000 gallons of water every 24 hours. As many as 
10,000 men have been employed upon this work at one time. The 
amount of material excavated and the masonry used in its construction 
would build a wall 100 feet high and over 5 feet thick around Manhattan 
Island, a distance of nearly 30 miles. From 135th street, the water is 
conveyed in four rows of 48 inch mains to the Lake in Central Park. 
The average depth of the tunnel is 170 feet. At 180th street, where it is 
carried under the Harlem River it was found necessary to sink the same 
419 feet below the surface, through solid rock in places. The distribution 
system includes 693 miles of water mains ; 8,500 fire hydrants, and 
nearly 20,000 water meters. The total cost ot the old and new Aqueduct 
and Works, comprising the Croton Water service, up to January 1st, 
1891, exceeded $72,000,000, of which $24,767,000 has been expended 
upon the new Aqueduct begun in January, 1885, and into which water was 
admitted in July, 1890. To this there will soon be added a sum exceeding 
$5,000,000, being the cost of new dams in the Croton Water Shed, the 
construction of which are now in progress. The income from Croton 
Water last year was about $3,000,000 ; the present daily consumption is 
nearly 150,000,000 gallons. The total sum received by the city from 
Croton Water rents, etc., since the Aqueduct was built in 1842, to January 
1st, 1891, aggregated $59,873,540. The annual expense for maintenance 
of the Croton Water service is about $1,500,000. The City of New York

and the various city prisons ; about 25,000 to the workhouse and the re- 
maining, say 45,000, are distributed among the twenty-two hospitals, 
asylums and reformatories belonging to the City. In addition to the 
foregoing, the City contributes, under authority of various legal enact- 
ments, $1,246,000, towards the support of about 8,000 inmates, in twenty- 
five miscellaneous asylums and charitable institutions. The Blackwell's 
Island bakery uses from 18,000 to 20,000 bbls. of flour per year in making 
nearly 5,000,000 lbs. of bread consumed there. 

PARKS. The annual appropriation for maintenance of the Parks ex- 
ceeds $1,000,000. The City contains 39 public parks, exclusive of trian- 
gles and small open places, with a combined area of 4,841 acres, of which 
3,600 acres, recently acquired at a cost exceeding $9,700,000, are located 
north of the Harlem River in the newly annexed district of the 23d and 24th 
Wards. Pelham Bay Park, containing 1,700 acres and located on the 
Sound, has a water front of 9 miles along the Sound. This is the largest 
of the seven parks belonging to the city and is one of the most beautiful 
natural parks in the world. Nearly one-fourth, or about 1,180 acres of 
the public parks, are south of the Harlem River. In Central Park, which 
has cost the City over $20,000,000, over 500,000 trees, shrubs, etc., have 
been planted ; here is located the Metropolitan Museum of Art — one of 
the finest institutions of its kind in the world. The appraised value of 
Central Park exceeds $100,000,000; its area is, approximately, 862 acres, of 
whicli43 1 4 acres are in Lakes. The Park contains 40 miles of roads, walks 
and bridle paths. The distance around the outside wall exceeds 6 miles. 
The Museum and Menagerie, located near 5th Ave. and 64th St., 
which is visited by 3,000,000 persons annually, is the finest 
in the country. The Museum of Natural History, an adjunct 
to the Park, on the block bounded by Columbus and 8th Aves. 
and 77th to 81st Sts., contains a magnificent collection of rare and 
interesting objects. There are dg 1 -^ acres of parks lighted with 
electricity and 66 acres with gas. Upon Ward's, Hart's, North 
Brothers, Randall's and Blackwell's Islands, in the East River, 
comprising altogether an area about 575 acres, are located the Peniten- 
tiary, Insane Asylum and principal hospitals of the city. Governor's, 
Ellis' and Bedloe's Islands, nearly 80 acres altogether, are located in the 
Bay, and owned by the United States Government. 

BANKS. The average amount on deposit in the sixty-four Associated 
Banks, comprising the New York Clearing House, is now about $470,- 
000,000. The average daily clearings exceed $145,700,000, being nearly 
65^ of the total exchanges of the whole country. The Association was 
incorporated in 1853 ; its clearings for the thirty-seven years of its or- 
ganization have avenged over $80,000,000 per day, which exceeds 80 
percent, of the total exchanges of the whole country. Thsre are thirty- 
six additional Banks not belonging to the Clearing House, besides 176 
Private Banks and Bankers. There are over 772,000 depositors in the 
twenty-seven Savings Banks in the City, having on deposit an average 
of about $400 each, aggregating over $319,000,000. There are sixteen 
Trust Companies with deposits exceeding $160,000,000 ; also twenty-one 
Safe Deposit Companies, and seventeen Investment, Mortgage and 
Guarantee Companies. 

POST OFFICE. The yearly receipts of the Post Office aggregate $6,254,- 
460; total expenses about $2,500,000, leaving net annual profit to 
U. S. Government $3,754,460. An average of 2,702,396 pieces of mail 
matter, using 14,080 sacks and pouches, and weighing 600,000 lbs., pass 
through the office every day. There are 1,000 lamp-post boxes, from

cross the bridge, which is about 110,000 per day. With the completion 
of the improvements in the terminals, now under way, the bridge cars 
alone will be able to carry 50,000 persons each way hourly. The daily 
receipts from tolls alone exceed $2,800, or over $1,000,000 per annum. 
The aggregate number of persons crossing the bridge up to January 
1st, 1891, was 180,700,000. The President of the Board of Trustees es- 
timates that within ten years the annual travel over the bridge will ex- 
ceed 96,000,000 persons, yielding a yearly net profit of $1,770,000. The 
total receipts from all sources from the date of its opening to January 1, 
1 891, amounted to $6, 800,000; $367, 200 of this sum was derived, principally 
from rentals of warehouses located under the approaches of the super- 
structure. The yearly travel on the lines of the sixteen different ferry 
companies, which keep constantly running over 100 boats on the different 
routes in the two rivers between New York and the cities opposite, will 
exceed 150,000,000 persons. The lines operated by the Union Ferry 
Company alone carry nearly 36,000,000 passengers, while the boats of 
the Pennsylvania Railroad Company to Jersey City carry about 25,000,- 
000 persons annually. The various other lines carry in nearly the same 
proportion. The boats on the two rivers cross to and fro over 4,000 
times daily. Between 40,000 and 50,000 persons arrive and depart from 
the Grand Central Railroad Depot in 42d street every day, or say 16,500,- 
000 per annum. When the improvements now under way are finished 
the capacity of the depot will be increased sufficiently to handle 75,000 
passengers daily, or 27,000,000 a year. The grain elevator of this com- 
pany, at the foot of West Sixtieth Street, is worthy of note, being one of 
largest and best equipped in the world. Seventy men can load or unload 
three hundred cars of grain here in a single day. 

Among the terminals of the various railroads leading to the city, those 
of the Erie Company at Weehawken, now approaching completion, are 
among the most notable. The company's piers will have an area of 
545,000 square feet. There will be 822,000 cubic feet of storage room 
under cover, and two miles of vessels can load and unload at the piers 
at one time. The yards containing the railroad tracks connected with 
the piers will have a capacity for holding 2,200 cars. 

The Pennsylvania Railroad Company has also under construction and 
nearly completed, at Jersey City, the largest passenger station and one of 
the finest R. R. terminals in the world. About $3,500,000 of the com- 
pany's earnings are being invested here in various improvements. The 
passenger station proper will consist of a single arched iron roof, 90 feet 
in height, 652*0 ^ eet ^ on S an ^ 2 5^ feet in width along the river front; 
this is exclusive of the waiting room and ferry accommodations, which 
are of immense proportions and built in the most substantial manner. 

The Central Railroad Company of New Jersey has recently spent 
large sums, both in this City and Jersey City, in the improvement of its 
terminal facilities, etc. Its new train shed at the latter place, recently 
completed, is an immense structure, being 512 feet long, 215 feet wide 
and 70 feet in height. 

The Long Island R. R. Co. has also been forced to accommodate it- 
self to the increasing tide of its patronage and has just completed at 
Long Island City (Hunters Point) a magnificent depot which has but 
few equals. Its exterior dimensions are 105x215 feet and its cost over 
$100,000. 

There are seventeen lines of railroads running from the City through the 
suburban districts, the travel upon which is enormous. It is estimated that 
54,000 commuters, living within a distance of 20 miles from the City, 
regularly travel on these lines. This amount of travel requires the 
constant service of 800 cars and 160 locomotives. The average

about $18,000,000. Nearly 80,000 children regularly attend the 86 public 
schools, requiring the services of 2,000 teachers, at an annual cost exceeding 
$2,200,000. The post office yields a yearly net profit of $209,000 to the 
United States Government. There are eight gas companies, having a 
combined capital of $13,000,000, which supply 10,500 public lamps and

etc. The losses by fire since 1872 have aggregated $17,500,000. The 
city contains 37 banks and trust companies. The 257,000 depositors in 
the fourteen savings banks had on deposit January 1st, 1891, $97,000,- 
000. There are about 24 miles of elevated railroads completed and in 
operation, which carried last year over 40,000,000 passengers. The 
street car lines of the city use 2,400 cars and 9,300 horses in transporting 
the 160,000,000 persons annually carried thereon. Brooklyn is one of 
the principal manufacturing centres of the union, containing between 
5,000 and 6,000 factories. 

JERSEY CITY. Jersey City was chartered in 1804, when but thirteen 
persons resided in the place. It has an area of 8,000 acres and a popu- 
lation of 163,987 (10th U. S. Census). The assessed valuation of its real 
and personal property aggregates $72,500,000. There are over sixty 
churches in the city, and it is the centre of many important manufactur- 
ing industries.

HOTELS. 

No city in the world equals New York in the number and excellence of its hotels, nor in 
the splendor of their appointments. The following list comprises all of the principal hotels 
in the city with a number of others which may be rated as second and third class ; the 
nearest Elevated R.R. Station to each hotel ; the Street Car Line immediately passing or 
nearest the same ; and, with but few exceptions, the " plan" upon which each hotel is con- 
ducted, whether American (A), or European (E), or both, including the rates per day, are 
also shown. The rates given are, in all instances, the lowest rates.

THE COLUMBUS HISTORICAL GUIDE. 



CLUBS. 

A distinguishing feature of the city's social life is strikingly illustrated 
in the number of its clubs and the luxuriousness of their surroundings. 
In this respect New York City stands preeminent, not even excepting the 
establishments of the older European cities. It is conservatively esti- 
mated that the value of the leading club plants of the city will exceed 
$25,000,000. The following list includes the names and addresses of all 
the leading clubs, and some which may not be rated as first class, but

THE WASHINGTON BRIDGE. 

(Pee illustration on page 76.) 

This magnificent structure, which is said to be one of the most beautiful 
bridges in the world, crosses the Harlem River and the tracks of the 
New York Central and Hudson River Railroad at Tenth Avenue and 181st 
Street, see map Square "T 2." Its total length is 2,375 feet, and its clear 
height above high water, 152 feet 4 inches The total width of road- 
way is 80 feet — 50 feet being used for the carriage-way, the sidewalks 
taking up 15 feet on either side of the same. Work on the Bridge was 
commenced in July, 1886; it was finished in December, 1888, and opened 
to the public in 1889. Its total cost was nearly $3,000,000—/. e., 
$2,851,684.55. An average of 500 men were constantly employed upon 
the work during its construction. The two main central arches, each 
being 510 feet span, are superb examples of modern engineering skill, 
wherein sections of steel are combined and keyed into arches in the 
same manner as stone arches are built. The seven side arches, four on 
the west and three on the easterly section, are of granite. 



NIAGARA FALLS. 



(See illustration on page 77.) 

This mighty cataract, which is located four hundred and forty-seven 
miles from New York, at the western terminus of the New York Central 
and Hudson River Railroad, is the most inspiring natural wonder known to 
man, and the objective point of tourists from the most remote parts of the 
earth. The Niagara River, extending from Lake Erie to Lake Ontario, a 
distance of thirty miles, forms the outlets of Lakes Superior, Michigan, 
Huron and Erie. The total fall of the river is three hundred and thirty- 
four feet, the greater part of the descent being confined within a distance 
of seven or eight miles. The rapids are so strong two miles above the 
falls as to entirely prevent navigation. There are three distinct cataracts 
The Horseshoe Falls, so called from its crescent shape, is by far the 
largest, and is in the direct course of the river ; it is two thousand feet 
wide and one hundred and fifty-four feet high. The American Fall is six 
hundred and sixty feet wide, and the Central Fall two hundred and 
forty-three feet, each having a fall of one hundred and sixty-three feet. 

In 1885 the State of New York acquired by purchase all the property 
on the American side adjacent to the falls, including Prospect Park, and 
it is now open free to the public. In 1888 the lands adjacent to the falls 
on the Canadian side were finally opened to the public after their acqui- 
sition by the Dominion Government. The New York Central maintains 
a magnificent service of ten fast express trains between New York and 
Niagara Falls every day in the year.
